Donald Trump confirms he is meeting with the Mexican president tomorrow.
Donald Trump, Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto To Meet Wednesday:This should be interesting. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto don’t seem to agree on much—particularly when it comes to the border wall Trump continues to say that Mexico will finance.
But here’s something to which Trump and Nieto can concur: They’re going to meet in Mexico City on Wednesday.
Seriously,they’re going to meet. Nieto also said he is willing to meet with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
As the New York Times writes, Trump is supposed to give a major immigration speech Wednesday in which he’s expected to clarify his position—which has long been that every illegal immigrant living in the U.S. would be deported but which was undercut earlier this month by Trump’s apparent softening of that position (which, then, was undercut by Trump’s flip-flop back to his original position. Sort of). It’s an interesting meeting, because, on the day he announced his presidency, Trump pronounced illegal immigrants from Mexico as rapists and criminals. Plus, Nieto hasn’t been shy about lambasting Trump’s pronouncement that Mexico will pay for the wall. He’s also compared Trump to Hitler and Mussolini, and former Mexico president Vicente Fox in February said his country is “not going to pay for that fucking wall.”
